No More 4X4! Finally lowered and lovin it! Well, finally got my Strano Springs installed. I just love the combo of these springs with my 1LE package. Really compliment eachother. Drove her on a 400+ mile trip and was as comfy as ever. Couple pics have been modified a bit.

Looks great. Can you review how it rides? And I don't mean performance driving. I mean over street imperfections, pot holes, manhole covers, and general driving hazards.
The entire suspension on the Z28 is going to need restoration someday and this is a nice stance. Just curious if you think it is too stiff.

LOL. Thanks!
Thank You
Need a little gap! LOL, Especially in MI.
Stock to me, Koni Dual Adjusts, came with the 1LE package.
Funny you should say that. Those tires based on date code are from 1994. Not to mention they must have come off a factory car. A friend of mine specializes in tire codes etc. They kind of scare me being so old, but are still in great shape, no busted cords, no dry rot, no vibration. So I just burn the hell out of them when ever I can.
I live in MI, and I just love the way this thing friggin handles. Like I said, I just took this on a up north trip and couldn't have been happier. I think it rides better than stock. A friend of mine drove it and said, if you didn't tell me, or I didn't see the outside, or didn't know it was lowered, you would never know. You really can't go wrong with Strano's Springs if this is what you are looking for in hieght. Not to mention the handling is AMAZING!!!! I mean, like on rails. I used to get a bit scared going in to some corners with the way the nose would roll and push. Not now! Just hang on!
Thanks SAM!
Thanks
To anyone I missed. Thanks as well.

Your car looks stunning, I would not change anything appearance wise, that's exactly the look I'm going for with mine. Just a nice drop on the stock 275's with an SLP SS grille, nothing else, so clean and simple.
The stance on the car looks perfect, it doesn't appear to be lowered to the point where you're riding around scraping the undercarriage on everything, but it's still pretty noticeable if you know what you're looking at, sort of subtle like, which is perfect. I actually really like the way the sidewall looks on those tires too.

Thanks again. The subtle look is what I am after, so that's good. If you look at my sig, even my exhaust is subtle. Till you stomp on the fun pedal! I've only scraped once so far and it was a brutal approach to a drive way with a small speed bumb at the top. Just rubbed my Hi flow Cat.
To be honest, I used to dress my tires all the time. Now I really don't care for it anymore.

Nice. I have stranos and kyb/agx and love them. They ride comfortable as stock but give you a much firmer chassis. And they handle way better with less rocking. Nice ss.

that first picture is awesome. all that green make the SOM really pop.
speaking of pop.. you're rolling the dice if your tires are truly that old. what is the code stamped on them? if you decide not to get rid of them, i call first in line for your 1LE stuff when the partout thread comes.
